ACTIVE BODY CONTROL ALL OUT OF WACK, REAR HEIGHT SENSOR PART NUMBER?

so my abc is completely out of wack, when I turn off the car it drops all the way down. When im driving hit a bump or brake the front will go up and down on its own! So I took it in to a local mechanic who works on benz ferrari and maserati, boy big mistake, first he told me I need a new module main computer. So I called dealer to get a part number and they tell me these dont have module they are valve blocks, but I started to think the car goes up and down so why would it be the computer. So I took the car to a new shop a guy had been working at a mercedes dealership for 10 years, He put the car on the scanner right away the rear right showed -117mm. so he lifted the car and behold, both rear sensor had torn apart! so I'm hopig I can get away with just two sensors.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A PART NUMBER FOR THESE SENSORS?

If you are going to try and do what he said, go to your local auto parts store, and buy what is called "JB Weld". It is an epoxy, you mix it, put it on, and let it set.
